CHOCOLATE TAHINI COOKIES

These vegan chocolate tahini cookies are rich, chewy, and just the right amount of indulgent. Think double chocolate with a nutty, almost caramel-like depth from the tahini. They’re quick to make, naturally plant-based, and the kind of cookie that tastes far too good to be this simple. Perfect with a coffee… or straight off the tray.

INGREDIENTS

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax & 2 tbsp warm water)

  • 1/2 cup tahini

  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 3/4 cup almond flour

  • 1/2 cup cacao powder

  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 80g dark chocolate, chopped

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp salt

    TOPPINGS

  • Flaked sea salt

  • 1/4-1/2 cup sesame seeds

METHOD

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 Celsius.

  2. Make the flax egg by mixing the ground flax seeds with the warm water. Let it thicken while preparing the batter.

  3. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients, including the coconut sugar, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

  4. Add the wet ingredients, including the tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract and flax egg. Mix and fold in the chopped chocolate. Once fully combined, using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, form balls and distribute evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the balls down into a cookie form. Use a fork to press them down both horizontally and then vertically. Sprinkle on sesame seeds and sea salt.

  5. Bake for around 12 minutes. Let it cool completely before enjoying.
